Anthony Davis was the first pick in the 2012 NBA draft, and his outstanding recent play has made his future with the New Orleans Hornets look extremely bright. But the fans aren't the only ones who hope he's a Pelican for years to come. The local pizza industry has apparently experienced a small renaissance of its own since he arrived in the Big Easy.

Williams and the Hornets' training staff are concerned that Davis hasn't put on enough muscle mass to avoid being pushed around by bigger players. To do that, he'll have to convert some of those pizza calories into healthier meals. They say he's already started doing that, and it should make the rest of his playing career more successful-if considerably less delicious.
